Bulking while building endurance?

[notno]

I wanna build muscle thats for sure. So that given I lift heavy/low reps and throw in a warm up set of light weight high reps. I dont wanna burn my muscle off though by cardio,I dont want wasted effort.

However to me endurance(cardio,not muscular) is just as important as pure brute strength. I plan to do cardio 2-3 times a day(no shit!) I am currently bulking(a meal every hour or two),5000 healthy cals.at least a gallon and a half water a day,with cardio though,I imagine it will be doubled. (Its all good foods) Heres what I am currently scheming-lift when wake. Jog/walk after Box,or swim,or speedbag at noon. Jog/walk around 7 or 8 pm. Protein and carbs are my main diet,fat is minimum.


Heres my question, I am bulking and getting 2-3ooo cals over my maintance. I am gonna have to do extensive cardio,as I hope to join the marines here in a few mos,and my cardio is worth shit.However,I do not wanna lose muscle,just fat.Any advice?

really, with that much cardio (how long each time btw?) youre going to lose muscle. I tried to be muscular while marathon running, end result was I was a slow runner, and not muscular. You can probably keep STRENGTH pretty decent and do cardio, meaning using low reps, high weight (I would imagine this will be more useful in the service as well).

 

[notno]

As I said my cardio is worth shit.I imagine I wont jog too long,I will prob jog till tired,recover by walk,jog,maybe 20-30mintues.

Why do you lose muscle with cardio?I just want my endurance on that to be tip top,and keep it that way. I dont wanna be a freakish huge guy,I want muscle because muscle=strength right?
Will I not make any gains muscular wise with that much cardio involved(I dont like low weigh high reps except for warm up)

I will still eat like a horse.And train same.

you can still build quality endurance with cardio 2-3 times / week.....geezus, a little excessive........

 

[notno]

I know,I dont want quality,I want freaky.
Lets pretend here.I know this can not be determined,but try to estimate. At my current plan,how much muscle %age would I lose at this rate of 3 times a day? I can deal with a little,it also helps cure my mental well-being too,and I have the time.

But I thought building muscle needs higher reps? And lower reps heavy weights are for strength but not muscle mass?

 

[notno]

I am pretty sure that a high weight 4-6 times(one you could max at 4-6 at) developes a certain type of fiber thats for muscle/mass and lower weight/higher reps,10-15 is for fibers that help endurance on the muscle.I am pretty certain.

this is what i thought too.

I've always been under the belief that heavy low reps taget fast twitch and lighter higher reps target slow twitch fibres. Most of my mass has come it the 5-6 rep range, but I always stay within 5-10 reps.
When bulking I dont do cardio, hell I havent done any since August, but you can see from my progress pics that I didnt turn into a fat guy

 

[Sub-Zero]

when people become muscularly bigger, they use up more calories in daily life to sustaine their size, correct?


but how does that compare to the actual training- what takes up more calories, the actual training (lifting) or just being a huge guy.

the reason i ask this:

is it possible for a guy to lift seriously, but not go through bulking, and still get decent size and strength, and do little to no cardio, and be a not fat person.

i know i phrased this pretty confusingly, but i cant think of any other way to ask
